DANBURY - For now, patients shuttle between doctor's offices, hospital operating rooms, radiology centers for CT scans and laboratories for blood work, seeing new receptionists and filling out new paperwork at every stop.

But by the fall of 2007,
Danbury Hospital
hopes to have made a serious dent in that between-office travel. The hospital has received permission from the state
Office of Health Care Access
to construct a $44.5 million outpatient center and parking garage at the corner of Locust and Osborne streets - about a block away from the main hospital building. The hospital, which has been planning the project since 2003, has already cleared the lot for construction, cutting into the side of a hill to expand the space.
